I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Rationale of the study English is one of the most popular languages, used by many different countries in the world The English language curriculum developed in the context of communication, language knowledge (phonetics, grammar, vocabulary) is a necessary tool for developing and developing communication skills Forming communication skills is the ultimate goal of the teaching process Throughout the years of innovation in high school English teaching, most of our teachers have explored and have had a certain amount of experience in active teaching English During the teaching and observation sessions of my colleagues, I noticed that most of the students were initially interested in and actively learning the skills, especially reading skills However, they are very discouraged in using the language knowledge that the teacher introduced in the practice Whereas the purpose of the exercise is to enable students to use language knowledge correctly, that language knowledge becomes a necessary means of forming and developing communication skills Language Focus is developed to reinforce and develop students' language competencies, to train to summarize or refine the language focus introduced in the skills classes Therefore, students should practice how they can develop communication skills through Language Focus Many teachers still require students to practice language focus (especially grammar) in the Language focus lesson by: Doing exercises in the textbook then on the board record the answer and correct the error As the reality shows often cause a tedious, boring, boring, not conducive environment for learning Therefore, teachers need to understand the intentions, requirements and objectives of each lesson, each item so that one can teach the right side of the lesson, on the other hand can use the textbook creatively Suitable for students With the help of the Principe, the contributions of my colleagues, the search through the media, I applied "Some games and teaching techniques" to teach the practice Language of Language focus "and to some extent obtained relatively positive results, students use better language They not think that language training is boring or impractical anymore, whereas it is very exciting, proactive, positive, and effective in learning That motivates their learning motivation Help them enjoy learning English more and use language knowledge to communicate 1.2 Aims of the study The application of "some games and teaching techniques" to the language focus of Language focus to develop communication skills for students 1.3 Object and scope of the study - Students of Le Van Linh High School - Language focus practice session 1.4 Research Methods - Observation method (via observation time) - Method of summarizing experience - Experimental methodology - Mathematical statistical methods II DEVEPOPMENT Set the problem 1.1 theoretical basic Implementing Resolution No 40/2000 / Tenth National Assembly; Directive No 14/2001 / CT-TT of the Prime Minister on renewing the program of general education.Instruction No 40-CTTW on June 15, 2004 by the secretariat on building and improving the quality of teachers and educational administrators, from 2006 to 2007 school year, Ministry of Education and Training The general education program, promulgated by the Minister of Education and Training 16/2006 / Decision Ministry of Education and Training on June 5, 2006, states: "It is necessary to bring into play the positive, Creative, student's; It is suitable with the characteristics of subjects, characteristics of students, conditions of each class; Self-study method, ability to cooperate; Practice skills to apply knowledge into practice; Affect emotions, bring joy, excitement and responsibility to students In general education, English is built in the direction of communication Forming communication skills is the ultimate goal of the teaching process; Language knowledge such as phonetics, grammar, vocabulary introduced in the Language focus course is seen as a necessary means to form and develop communication skills, not the ultimate goal of the process study Moreover, teaching instead of taking "Teaching" centered on taking "Learning" at the center In the organizational approach, the learner - the object of the "teaching" activity and the subject of the "learning" activity - is attracted to the learning activities organized and directed by the teacher, through It explores what is unclear, not yet passively absorbing the knowledge that has been arranged by the teacher That is why teachers need to understand the intentions, requirements, goals of each lesson, each item so that one can teach the right part of the lesson, on the other boldly and creatively in the design of the exercises Both the right focus of the article, while attracting active students, actively participate in the process of training language knowledge Students can then apply that knowledge into the process of communication Activities will make the classroom noisier, but noisy 1.2 Actual situation This form of communication skills is the ultimate goal of the teaching process Language knowledge is the means by which language skills are developed and developed, and the linguistic knowledge is introduced in the language So how can we teach and learn the linguistic knowledge, especially the following? When introducing grammar knowledge, how should students practice to enable them to use them in specific communication situations in order to meet the goals of the instructional process? A Language Focus section of the English-language textbook (Basic-CTE) is conducted as follows: Pronunciation Language Focus Presentation Controlled pratice Grammar Practice (vocabulary) Free practice ( diagram 01) Production A Language Focus within 45 minutes, the practice practice only takes about 20 minutes Usually, many teachers, after the introductory stage, still require students to practice their language focus (especially grammar) in the Language focus lesson by: Doing the exercises in the textbook and then on the board record the pay Words and fixes Example UNIT 11 : BOOKS Period: 70- Part E : Language focus ( Modals in passive voice) (English textbook 12 basic) After introducing the formula: Modal verb + be + PP2 The teacher instructs students to practice the structure within 20 minutes * If you practice in a traditional manner, it will look like this * The teacher asks the students to the following exercises (pages 126127 english textbook 12basic):Unit one : Rewrite the sentences in the passive 1.You mustn’t use this machine after 5.30 p.m you must clean this machine every time you use it you should keep the flowers in warm sunny place you should pay your bill before you leave the hotel you should give us the information now …………………………………………………… Unit two: Complete the conversation with the suitable passive form of the verbs in brackets Naomi : Dr Kay, I’d like to ask how meals ( will/ prepare) ….in the Space Station … food ( Be going to/ cook)……on board or taken in the form of tablets? Dr Kay: Neither Gourmet meals ( will/pre-package)….on Earth then they (4 can/warm up)………on board Naomi: ……………………………………………………… Dr Kay:………………………………………………… Then the teacher put the students up on the board to record their answers and correct them With the traditional practice of the above, I find that: - Students often exercises in the form of coping, dependence, sometimes too much abuse of reference books makes children lazy thinking, not creative - The classy, boring classroom atmosphere leads to children who are not interested in active teaching - They not know how to use their linguistic knowledge to express their communication in real life situations in order to serve their lives Therefore, the formation and development of communication skills for children are difficult Solve the problem To overcome the limitations of traditional practice, this type of exercise does not meet the communication goal of teaching English Because linguistic knowledge is seen as a means, not a means of communication Is the ultimate destination of the learning process So in order for students to develop communication skills in Language Focus, I have applied "Some games and teaching techniques" to design appropriate exercises that help students to practice Language knowledge, both developed communication skills The application of "some games and teaching techniques" to teach language training for the Language Focus course in basic English textbooks Using games and learning techniques in the practice will attract all students to participate in the exercises, students will learn more actively, more active, classroom atmosphere is no longer tedious and tense Bored again The word "diagram 01" shows that the language training step consists of two parts: * The first part of the training session is a controlled practice The trick most commonly used here is drills In this section students learn through repetition, copying to form habits This step is very short, only about minutes Some of the techniques that I usually use in step are *Picture Drill *Realia Drill * Word cue drill The second part of the exercise is free practice: In this section, students use suggested words to form structured sentences, or homework assignments Preparatory or in the textbook, in the form of groups or pairs Teachers come in groups to help them Here are some games that I usually use in step 2: * Noughts and Crosses *Lucky number *Pelmanism *Substitution Boxes * Slap the board In general, the purpose of the training step help students utilize new language knowledge accurately, through a process that goes from the practice of guided practice to free practice You can transport Use the knowledge learned in specific situations to form and develop communication skills for students Based on the games, teachers can design exercises that match the content of each lesson, each student object Here are some examples I have used in teaching at Le Van Linh High School Illustration Example 1: UNIT 11 : BOOKS Period : 70 - Part E : Language focus ( Modals in passive voice ) ( Englishtextbook 12 basic) Step (5 minutes): Using the Realia Drill technique: - Teachers ask students to observe the entire interior of the classroom, pointing out (or thinking in their head) what needs, should or should be replaced, repaired, repainted, so on .for example : The door/must/repair The windows/should/replace The walls/should/ repaint The desks /must/ clean/everyday ………………………………………… - The teacher points to the door and read aloud the sample 2-3 times: The door must be repaired - Teachers ask students to read sample sentences times - Teacher asks 2-3 students to read sample sentences - Teacher pointing at the walls ( The walls ) And follow the steps above: The walls should be repainted - Students work in pairs and order other sentences themselves *Possible sentences : The windows should be replaced The desks must be cleaned everyday The blackboard should be repainted ……………………………………………… Step (15 minutes): Use the game Noughts and Crosses Teacher squares up on the board, each box with a picture (with the average student, the teacher should give them the suggested words) A box on the board, each box with a picture (with the average student, the teacher should provide them with suggestions) 1.The road/ should / repair 4.The coach/should/ repair They /need /help 2.The tap/should/turn off The house/ must/ rebuild 5.The window/must/ close The house/may/ sell The toilet/must/ clean 9.The walls/ should/ repaint - Teacher makes a sample sentence using any picture in the boxes: 6.The house/may/ sell The house may be sold The teacher divides the students into two groups: one group is Noughts (O) and one group is Crosses (X) - The teacher gives the members of each group a discussion of the pictures in about minutes Then, the two groups select the pictures in the box, passing the sentence in passive form with the verb short - The group that makes the right choice will get an "O" or an "X" for example one * Nhóm Noughts ( O ) choose the picture one : The road/ should/ repair * Students set the sentence: “ The road should be repaired.” * So the Noughts (O) got an "O" O X Group Crosses ( X) Pick the picture five : 5.The window/must/ close * Students set the sentence: “The window must be closed” * So the group Crosses ( X ) Be one “X” - The groups continue to select pictures and set sentences - A team with three "O" or three "X" on a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line wins *Suggested answers: The road should be repaired The tap should be turned off ( after being used ) The house must be rebuilt The coach should be repaired The window must be closed ( when it is windy ) The house may be sold They need be helped 8t The toilet must be cleaned (everyday) The walls should be repainted Example two : UNIT 5: HIGHER EDUCATION Period: 30 - Part E: Language focus ( conditional sentences ) (12th grade English basic) Step 1: Using Picture drill: - The teacher prepares a number of paintings and vocabulary related to conditional types 1,2,3 They/go/for a picnic/ tomorrow/they/play/many games 2.He/get/up/early/yesterday he/not/go/to/school/late , It/ warm/tomorrow/ they/go/for a picnic There/be/something/eat/ now/ she/not/be/hungry 5.He/work/hard/ he/get/better/marks/last week She/have /a/computer now, she /not/feel/tired - Teacher gives students a glimpse of the pictures and the words in the paintings - The teacher gives a picture to the class He/ get up/early/yesterday/ he/ not/go/to/school/late - Teacher reads aloud sample (2-3 times): If he had got up early yesterday, he would not have gone to school late - The student asks the students to read sample sentences times - Teacher asks 2-3 students to read sample sentences - The teacher continues the steps with the second painting: It/ warm/tomorrow, they/go/for a picnic If it is warm tomorrow, they will go for a picnic - Students work in pairs to make sentences with the remaining paintings (Teacher hangs the remaining paintings up on the board) *Suggested answers: If they go for a picnic tomorrow, they will play many games If he had got up early yesterday, he wouldn’t have gone to school late If there were something to eat now, she wouldn’t be hungry If It is warm tomorrow, they will go for a picnic If he had worked hard, he would have got better marks last week If she had a computer now, she would not feel tired Step 2: Use the Pelmanism game - The teacher prepares 14 cards with cover (or paper) + On the one hand the teacher hits numbers 1-14 On the other hand, the teacher writes the propositions of conditional types 1,2,3 (From conditional clause 1-7, clause 8-14) I wouldn’t drink so much If you had told me earlier, If it rains, If she had a car, 10 she will go swimming If I spoke Korean, 11 If she had worked hard, 12 she would go out in the eeeeeeeeeeeeêeevening I will stay at home If it is hot, 13 If I were you, 14 I could translate this I would have given it to you She would have passed the exams - Teachers paste the cards on the board (1-7 stickers on one side, 8-14 on one side), showing students the numbered face - Divide the class into two groups A and B - In turn, each group chooses two numbers (some in columns 1-7, some in columns 8-14) - Flip the two student cards selected If they match, the group will get points (the teacher asks the students to explain why they match) For example * groups A choose two number : and 12 * Students flip two cards with two matching clauses: If it rains, I will stay at home * These two clauses match together into one type conditional clause * So group A will get one point - Flip the two selected cards, if they not match, then overturn the same and not score (teacher asked the students explain why not match) For example: * Group B chooses two numbers: 10 and * Students flip two cards with two matching clauses: If she had worked hard, she will go swimming * These two clauses not match (because the conditional verb is divided in the form of the third conditional, the verb of the main clause being divided in the form of the first conditional These two clauses are not synonymous) * Turn cards face down, and group B does not score -Continue the game until all the cards are overturned - Which team more points than the winning team *Suggested answers: 1- 13 ; - 12 ; - 11 ;4-9 – 14 ; – 10 ; 7–8 Example UNIT 2: CULTURAL Period :12 – Part E : Language Focus ( Review of tense) ( 12th grade english basic) Step 1: Use the technique Word cue drill - The teacher prepares about to verbs: watch have cook - Teacher glances through the vocabulary 10 - The teacher sets the sample sentences with the first verb for students to hear (each verb can set different sentences in the ones mentioned in the introduction) Example: have Teacher makes sentences: I have breakfast at a.m every day -The teacher asked the students to read the same sound and personal sample The teacher continues with the above steps: She is having a bath at the moment I had had a computer I will have dinner He has been having a bath - Students give sentences to other verbs Step 2: Use the game Substitution Boxes - Teacher on board a frame box filled with words- The words in the box are mated together to form many sentences that the verb is divided in different places Example: Hoa is Watching T.V now Has all day have I Watches often go Every shopping will next Clean the house T.V been am Week Hoa is now Watching and Mai are Had a new bought Cleaned they repairing - Teachers divide the class into groups (depending on the number of students in the class to divide the group) Groups discuss each other: Use words in the box to put together sentences (as many sentences as possible) One word can be used multiple times The teacher then asks the two teams to write their discussion results up on the board for a certain time (eg, within minutes) The group members turn to write - The group that writes the most correct sentences is the winning team *Possible sentences: - The present simple tense : - The present continuous tense: *Hoa and Mai go shopping every week * They are repairing the house 11 *Hoa and Mai often clean the house * Hoa is watching T.V *Hoa watches T.V every day *I am watching T.V *Mai often watches T.V *Mai is watching T.V now *They go shopping everyday * Hoa and Mai are repairing the TV,etc *I clean the house every week,………etc - The past perfect tense: - The future simple tense: *Hoa had bought a new T.V *Hoa will clean the house next week *Mai had cleaned the house * Mai and Hoa will go shopping *They had bought a new house * I will clean the house *I had cleaned the house,…etc * They will go shopping,………….etc - The present perfect continuous tense : * Hoa has been watching T.V all day * They have been repairing the house * I have been watching T.V * Mai has been repairing the T.V,etc The results of the application of "some games and teaching techniques" into the language practice in the Language Focus course in English CB To develop communication skills for students in Language Focus, I have applied "Some games and teaching techniques" to teach language learning in the form of "Learning to play" Play, learn "and obtained relatively satisfactory results: * Results obtained through the tests as follows: Class 12 G (45Hs) 12B (45Hs) No measures (according to survey data at the beginning of the school year 2015-2016) : Great Rather medium Weak Cream S % S % S % S % S % L L L L L 2,2 10.9 15 32,6 22 47,8 6,5 After applying the measures at of the school years 2016-2017) Great :Rather medium S % SL % S % L L 15 15 33 16 35 Weak, S % L 17 4,3 15,2 13 28,3 21 45,7 6,5 17 17 37 15 33 the end 13 And I noticed that: * Students change their attitudes toward learning the language (especially grammar) They are very excited because they have been learning, playing, arguing comfortably, without pressure, and are highly effective * From a picture, real objects students can put a lot of different sentences Therefore, it will promote students' initiative and creativity to their linguistic knowledge * Exercises are associated with real objects and pictures, which help them to connect with reality better so that they can apply their grammatical knowledge 12 to communicate the contents of the communication Specific situations in study and in real life to serve life Forms of group training, pairs (integrated in games, techniques) help children practice more, make use of time; Teach children how to learn from each other; Encourage the students to say, the shy children have the confidence to voice their opinions * Classroom atmosphere: lively, no longer boring and boring; Create confidence, joy in learning for the children III CONCLUSIONS 1.The conclusion Teaching-learning Language focus according to many teaches is not a difficult task, more to ask students to practice, just use the available exercises just fine However, teaching how to motivate learners in the direction of learning, how to help students use language knowledge as a means to form and develop communication skills is not an easy task Therefore, in the process of teaching, if you are really concerned with the lesson you will find it necessary to innovate teaching methods The application of "games and teaching techniques" to teaching-learning the steps I raised in this subject is not only meaningful for my students in the development of linguistic knowledge but also Great sense of the general learning habits of children, it is always active, active and creative Forming them for teamwork skills, communication skills in English so that they can adapt to today's constantly-evolving society, so that they can become confident people in the face of difficulties Scarf and challenge of the present life Recommendation * For the school: Building functional rooms Because every time a game is organized, in pairs, the group always makes the class noisier and more likely to influence the next class, which often leads to teachers hesitating to organize activities * For Education and Training: Expand the trainees to innovate teaching methods, not only training for the team leader but also other teachers I sincerely thanks!
